Title: V-rake with windrow width adjustment
Inventor: TONUTTI CARLETTO
IPC: A01D78/00
Filed: 1999-08-11
Abstract: A V-rake includes a drawbar assembly adapted for connection to a tow vehicle, in combination with a transverse cross-member connected to the drawbar assembly. Wheels are mounted to the cross-member, to form a trolley for conveying the V-rake. A rake arm is mounted to each end of the cross-member, and includes a series of rake wheels. The rake arms are moveable relative to the cross-member between an open, operative position and a closed, transport position, and the rake wheels are moveable relative to the rake arms between a raised, inoperative position and a lowered, operative position. The transverse cross- member is a rigid, fixed-length member to increase the structural rigidity of the trolley. A windrow width adjusting arrangement is interconnected with the rake assembly, and includes a windrow forming rake assembly mounted to the transverse cross-member adjacent each end thereof. Each windrow forming rake assembly includes a rake wheel mounted to an outer arm, which in turn is mounted to an inner arm pivotably mounted to the transverse cross-member for movement about a vertical pivot axis. In this manner, the windrow forming rake wheels can be moved together and apart to adjust the width of windrow formed between the windrow forming rake wheels. An adjustable length member, such as a turnbuckle or hydraulic cylinder assembly, is interposed between the transverse cross-member and each inner arm, for controlling the position of the windrow forming rake wheel. The outer arm is preferably mounted for pivoting movement to the inner arm about a substantially horizontal pivot axis, to enable the windrow forming rake wheels to be moved between a raised, inoperative position and a lowered, operative position in response to operation of an actuator associated with the rake for moving the rake wheels between the raised, inoperative position and the lowered, operative position.

Title: Fault detection in electrical transmission lines
Inventor: HEGGIE GRAEME
IPC: H02H3/28
Filed: 2000-08-02
Abstract: Fault detection in a multi-phase electrical transmission line (30, 32, 34) is accomplished by providing detectors (36, 38, etc.) at each end of a line section which detect the current flowing into and out of the line section and output a value of the current. The outputs of the detectors are processed in a microprocessor-controlled relay unit (80, 82, 84) by calculating the phasor relationship between the instantaneous current flowing in the line section and the voltage, thereby determining whether there is a component of the current vector in the same direction as the voltage vector. If there is a component of current in phase with the voltage, then a fault is present in that line section.

Abstract: Multiple two-dimensional variation patterns are extracted from two-dimensional sheet measurement data of sheet material being manufactured with the variation patterns being classified to identify the causes of the extracted patterns. The extracted two-dimensional variation patterns are identified with the elements or components of the process or machine which caused the patterns. The machine components which cause the variation patterns can then be adjusted and/or controlled so that the patterns can be reduced or substantially eliminated in sheets of material produced by the machine. In addition to adjustment and/or control of the process or machine producing the sheet of material, the extracted variation patterns can be used as new representations of sheet quality, process or machine quality and the patterns will provide more in-depth understanding for operators of the machine.
